Definitions

• the present invention relates to a process for producing pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic esters, and polymerizable compositions composed of the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic esters and polyiso(thio)cyanate compounds.
• Plastic lenses are light weight, less broken, and dyeable, as compared with inorganic lenses. Therefore, in recent years, the application of the plastic lenses to optical materials for a spectacle lens, a camera lens, or the like has increased rapidly.
• the resins for the plastic lenses have been required to have new excellent performances such as a high refractive index, a high Abbe's number, low specific gravity, and high heat resistance.
• a variety of resin materials for lenses have been developed and used until now.
• a polyurethane based resin obtained by polymerizing pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester with a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound is colorless and transparent, has a high refractive index and low dispersion, is excellent in impact resistance, dyeabiltiy, processability and the like, and is one of resins which are optimum for plastic lenses.
• Pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester is produced by a so-called direct esterification method.
• the ester is produced by reacting a usual polyhydric alcohol with a mercaptocarboxylic acid in the presence of an esterifying catalyst, while removing by-produced water out of the system (Refer to Patent Document 4).
• Pentaerythritol one of starting materials of the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester, is usually produced by subjecting acetaldehyde and formaldehyde to condensation.
• the purity of the pentaerythritol obtained by the appropriate production process is about 90 wt %, and pentaerythritol contains various kinds of impurities.
• One of such impurities is bispentaerythritol that is a condensation of two molecules of formaldehyde of pentaerythritol.
• a 3-mercaptopropionic acid can be cited. Since the 3-mercaptopropionic acid has extremely bad storage stability, it has been known that the purity is easily lowered due to the contact with oxygen in the air or storage temperature so that the content of impurities is increased. Furthermore, when the melting point of the 3-mercaptopropionic acid is low to be 16.8 degree centigrade, and the storage temperature becomes low particularly in winter or the like, the acid is solidified in some cases. Since a liquid is easily handled rather than a solid from the viewpoint of handling, the 3-mercaptopropionic acid is kept by heating so as not to be solidified or the acid is handled by heat-melting in advance when it is solidified in many cases.
• the viscosity of the polymerizable composition before polymerization obtained by mixing the pentaerythritol 3-mercaptopropionic ester with a polyiso (thio) cyanate compound is high so that it becomes difficult to handle the composition such that a) in the degassing step of the lens process, bubbles are hardly removed, b) in the filtering step for removing foreign substances, it takes time and filtering cannot be performed, c) injection into a mold cannot be done and the like. Furthermore, a lens obtained by the polymerizable composition has problems of deterioration in the color, whitening and the like.
• An object of the present invention is to obtain colorless and transparent pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester when pentaerythritol is reacted with a mercaptocarboxylic acid. Furthermore, the present invention is to provide a polymerizable composition having a low viscosity containing the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester and polyiso(thio)cyanate, and to provide a polyurethane based resin which is colorless and transparent without causing whitening thereof by polymerizing the polymerizable composition.
• the present inventors have conducted an extensive study and as a result, have determined that the cause of whitening of a polyurethane based resin is in the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester as monomer thereof.
• the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester is produced using a mercaptocarboxylic acid having a content of thioester formed by condensation of two molecules of the mercaptocarboxylic acid of not more than a specific amount as a starting material, the above problems are solved, and a polyurethane based resin which is colorless and transparent and in which the whitening is suppressed is obtained.

Furthermore, the polymerizable composition before polymerization obtained by mixing the pentaerythritol mercaptocarboxylic ester with a polyiso(thio)cyanate compound comes to have a low viscosity, while the polyurethane based resin obtained by polymerizing the polymerizable composition becomes a colorless and transparent resin in which whitening is suppressed.
